I just dug this out of the "drawer of doom". I had it masked with Tamiya tape and painted dark gray over light gray. It's the old Matchbox kit in 72nd scale. I am using aftermarket decals from Microscale to finish it as a USMC bird from VMA-513. I am trying a new, to me, method to do the camo. Poster Putty will be my mask, I could not find Blue Tack so I tried this. It worked out pretty good.---John

More work done....painted rear exhausts burnt iron, tan area on tail and started painting landing gear and wheels.---John

Wheels on.....now to decal---John

Looking good there John. That's a nice tight camo scheme.
Do the outriggers touch the ground, as they look like they don't from the picture?
Andy

Thanks, no they don't touch the ground.---John

I need to find better decals, the old Microscale sheet
is shattering! I am looking at finding the Caracal sheet
with VMA-513, Det B. No more old Microscale sheets for me! I
have gotten this far piecing what I could!---John
